THROMBA EXAMINED the skeletal structure of the subject.

The first thing the cryptosurgeon noticed was a specific thinning of the bones, likely due to a period of malnutrition during childhood. Easily rectified, even if it was outside the order of the surgery.

Using her syringe arm attachment, Thromba injected a battery of chemicals into the bone tissue. It would take a little bit of time for the cells to respond to the treatment, so Thromba began some basic points of reassembly that met the needs of the subject.

For starters, Ryn Biggleston’s new body would be slightly shorter and her hips would be wider than her previous configuration. Both could be accomplished in one step: by adjusting the hip joints so they were constructed farther apart, five centimeters of height would be transferred to the width of the hips. Shortening the arms so the subject remained proportionate was trickier though….

Thromba switched out her arm attachment for the circular saw. Sometimes the old-fashioned methods worked best.

“Ghu ghee!” The Frigosian called out. Drix hobbled over with the welding array. It was a large device that had cost the Frigosians a small fortune, but it was worth every credit. It could knit together bone as if it were welding metal—hence its name. Left like that, the bone would never be quite as strong as it had been; however, there was a means of compensation to be applied: Thromba added a plasteel sleeve over the weld. That would lend enough strength to the fused segment so it was as sturdy as the original bone.

Then there was the skull. That was delicate work, because whatever Thromba did there, it had to complement the work of Laparo. Furthermore, proportion had to be maintained at all costs; that had been a condition of the contract with ­Biggleston, and the Frigosians had a reputation to maintain—one for quality work.

The cryptosurgeon first went to work on the eye sockets, measuring carefully against the eyeball size estimates that Laparo had provided. Wider and rounder. Simple enough. Then some slight alterations to the jawline and the nasal structure…modifications to the cheekbones…

It took some time, but finally the skull was ready.

“Dweep?” called out Thromba.

“Dwoop!” agreed Laparo.

So the surgeons, with the aid of their Snivvian assistant, began reassembling the newly shaped form of Ryn Biggleston, thief at large.
